Summary
Wilde took a few steadying breaths, more or less shaky than before, and tried to accept his fate. He, Oscar Wilde, would die alone in this rotten cell. Not very poetic, but at least it was his own decision.

Summary
He knew that Barnes was a deeply private person, and neither of them had ever discussed what they were to each other, but still, it stung, the way Barnes practically ignored him, both of them sitting at the edge of the room leaning against a wall, on opposite corners. It stung even more every time Barnes did look at him, and Carter stubbornly refused to examine the stutter his heart made every time their eyes met.

Summary
Barnes tried to stifle the sob that escaped him, pressing his hand against his mouth, not being able to stop his eyes from watering up again, when Carter opened his eyes. For a moment he looked quizzically up at Barnes, then the frown disappeared and was replaced by a small smile.
"Hey Barnes“, he said.

Summary
Falling in love with Carter was easy. Barnes hadn't realized it at first, of course not, he was never the brightest when it came to things like this. But Howard Carter was easy to be around, and for Barnes, after a while, easy to love.
A characterization of Carter, through Barnes' eyes -

Summary
"Barnes! Would you just back off, okay? I can take care of myself just fine." He tried to wiggle free of Barnes' grip, but the pain flarring up in his leg was enough to stop him again.
"No."
"What do you mean no?" Carter stared at Barnes utterly perplexed.
"No."

Summary
“What -“ Ilya started, his voice shaky and wet with blood. The movement made Shane’s hand slip, another gush of blood spurting across his fingertips.
“Shut up,” Shane bit in return, fraught. “Shut the fuck up.”
Or: At the Montreal - Boston game in April 2017, it is Ilya who is injured instead of Shane.

Summary
Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.
Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.
As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.
(Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

Summary
“Hayden, what do you think was happening back there?”
“Rozanov was having dinner with Yuna.”
“No, I mean, why do you think Rozanov was in my parents’ house?”
Hayden’s look of pity(?) only increased. “Oh buddy. Of course you wouldn’t see what’s going on. Why would you? You always think the best of your family.”
“Just answer the question.” Shane was too drained to figure out what Hayden was getting at.
“I’m so sorry, Shane, but Ilya Rozanov was seducing your mother.”
------
Or: Shane and Hayden go to see Shane's parents, when Rozanov is there, Hayden jumps to a very wrong conclusion.

Summary
Shane wanted to respect Ilya’s request for space. Shane wanted to get the fuck out of here. Shane couldn’t breathe.
Couldn’t move at all. He was frozen - from his lungs to his feet. Everything except his hands which were shaking. He should leave, but he wasn’t even sure how much longer his legs would be able to support him, and driving seemed like a bad idea in this state.
What if Shane stayed after the Boxing Day fight. Basically an exploration of the age old question - what if they just, like, talked about their feelings? (And also went to Bood's party after all).
